Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – September 24, 2018 <br />been identified by the County as a priority and they’re – sounds like well on <br />their way to finalizing and securing this property. I got a chance to speak with <br />Laura Kaakua whose with the Native Lands Project Manager and she shared <br />with me what so far their plans are. Everything from the existing leases with <br />ranchers and some energy stuff to continuing to allow access via hikers <br />coming in from the highway and weekends – she mentioned one vehicle <br />coming in and working with the non-profit to manage all of that. I did ask her a <br />little bit about game in that area and she wasn’t – and I’m not aware either – <br />but not aware if there’s goat hunting by the ranchers in that area mauka in <br />their property – she did mention that she’s seen some goat signs near the <br />ocean side but it doesn’t seem to be like a huge hunting situation or <br />opportunity but it might be something worth looking into and continuing to <br />have dialogue with our Commission and the Native Land Project Manager <br />regarding this parcel. <br /> <br />NP: Grayson, did you happen to know or find out – has there been vehicular <br />access up and down... <br /> <br />GH: Yes. <br /> <br />NP: And so they’re gonna be cutting off the access vehicles? <br /> <br />GH: No, actually, one of the things she mentioned was they really want to try to <br />keep it the way it has been going by allowing one vehicle – I guess it’s sort of <br />like camping on the weekends kind of thing – it’s a sign-up to go in on the <br />weekends and continuing with how they’ve been doing it in the past. <br /> <br />NP: Right. What about fishing? <br /> <br />GH: That’s exactly what I think they were doing is camping and fishing - when I <br />say camping I meant fishing down the beach kinda with your family and <br />friends. <br /> <br />NP: So they’ll continue to allowing it and... <br /> <br />GH: Yes. That’s their plan... <br /> <br />NP: Are they gonna be fencing it? <br /> <br />GH: No, they did not, um, no I didn’t get into that discussion of fencing... <br /> <br />NP: Right. It’s over 2,000 acres... <br /> <br />GH: Yeah, it’s pretty huge area. No they didn’t mention anything about fencing nor <br />did I specifically ask about fencing. <br /> <br />28 <br /> <br /> <br />
